[Tango-L] N.U.E.V.O.

You're right I shouldn't assume they were taught  because if I assume they 
were taught the codigos then I would then have to make  the assumption that 
they were idiotas for not adhering to them.
Even in the  Southern hemisphere children are taught respect by the parents 
but it's up to  the children to decide for themselves to show that respect.
Never try to  teach a pig to sing....it wastes
your time and annoys the  pig.

hemisphere-based.  Even here does the "younger crowd"  predominately does 
not have "teachers" for swing, hip-hop, cajun, zydeco,  ... ??   You  
ignore the dynamics of social evolution (or  perturbations in 
non-equilibrium systems) much like the L'Académie française  attempts to 
codify the language to the extent of opposing protection for  regional 
languages.
